Miracle Messages is a nonprofit organization dedicated to reuniting individuals experiencing homelessness with their loved ones. The organization enables those affected by homelessness to create short video, audio, or written messages to family members or friends, often with assistance from local partners and trained volunteers. A team of "digital detectives" then works to locate the recipients, deliver the messages, and facilitate reunions. To date, Miracle Messages has successfully reunited 266 families, with an average disconnection period of 15 years, and reports that 80% of delivered messages receive a positive response. The impact of their efforts has not only led to familial reconnections but has also resulted in numerous individuals finding pathways off the streets. Founded by Kevin F. Adler in honor of his uncle, Miracle Messages aims to end relational poverty and change societal perceptions of homelessness by fostering empathy and understanding. The organization has garnered significant media attention, reaching over 100 million viewers through various platforms.
